Hi,
My application images are loading fine without appending the string ‘/assets’. For ex (image_tag “icons/16x16/error.png”, :title => “No contact email”) is working fine
also this in css files background:url(colorbox/controls.png) is working fine.
will it give any problem in the production?
Normally no problem will occur in production.
But you have to run
rake assets:clean
rake assets:precompile
before put your application in production.
Anyway, you can try to run your application in production locally using :
**rails s -e production **
and go to http://localhost:3000 to see what’s going to happen.
